The two glyph programs are nothing new. You should be using the same one as per the shortcut that gets normally used when not attempting to be boxing, which I believe is GlyphClient.exe.

That all said, you are on Windows 8, so you need to doubly make sure you have all the updates for it. You can try the dev build of Inner Space which has a compatibility update for Windows 8 (Win8 is missing some API's present in Win 7, 8.1, 10). Admittedly I would expect a different crash if that was it, but worth a shot. Note, the dev build does change, and the auth system is currently being updated (it is pretty stable right now).

To get the dev build. Right click Inner Space, select Patcher, select (it's a the red dot) the option for "Download development (test) patches"". Then right click Inner Space, select Exit. Reload Inner Space again, see if it that fixes it.
